We needed side and rear extension building and joinery works done. John came recommended. The work was of excellent quality and John was friendly, efficient and punctual. Would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for building and joinery work.

John lives up to his excellent reputation for first class building.

Even with challenges on materials during difficult times John has managed to complete an excellent new extra space for my mums home.

Best materials used and very high quality work.
Thanks to John and his team for all there hard work and there patience.

I would recommend John to anyone looking to have building work done in the future.

John put a door through into our attached garage. It was, in effect, an exterior wall so a fair bit of work.
All the work was done very well and with care and the door fits like a glove. He's getting door trim cut to order to match the other door into the room which is excellent. Its not yet in place when the pic was taken.

John is very experienced and approachable on my renovation. He rebuilt walls and created two bedrooms and a family bathroom. He arranged for the electrician, plasterer, plumber and painter to carry out their respective work to the highest standard. At all times John was reliable and explained everything at the different stages. I am extremely happy with the finished work. I have already recommended John to my friends and neighbours

John is very experienced and did a fantastic job on our renovation. He helped us re-configure our downstairs floor into a new open plan layout, which required a complete overhaul of everything. The work John carried out included removing walls, re-plastering, flooring, new pipe work, heating, electrical, all joinery, bathroom and kitchen installation. At all times John was reliable and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend him and will be using him again the the future.

A leak in our bathroom went undetected for some time resulting in needing a complete new floor.
John removed the existing bathroom suite, lifted and renewed all the chipboard flooring then refitted the bathroom suite. Was very happy with the finished result and John and his plumber quickly sorted a secondary issue.

John converted our loft from an original 1920s space to a modern tidy storage area, with new velux, and also renovated our shower room, improving the amenities of both spaces. John kept us informed throughout job and made adjustments on our request. Happy with finished rooms.

I had an exterior door put into the back of my garage. John always communicated well with me, advising me on progress and any issues. The work was carried out competently and all mess was tidied up and removed from the premises. I would use this trader again.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending John Reilly.He was patient and considered in all his dealing with me and my requirements. He is completely trustworthy, works to the highest standard and delivers a first class service. He has done both large (full house extension building) and many smaller jobs for me and I have always been happy in every respect.

John Reilly Joiner and Building Service was used as a main contractor to convert a one bedroom flat into a two bedroom flat in the Joppa/Portabello area of Edinburgh.

The level of communication and reliability was excellent. The quality of work was generally excellent - with the exception of the Electrical work which had several issues but all were resolved quickly and without fuss.

The price did escalate during the job but this was well communicated and understandable as the amount of work became more complex and time consuming. Very good coordination with the Architect and Structural Engineer.

I would ask this company to quote on future jobs without hesitation

John was very easy going. Kept me updated, arranged plasterer and electrician to fit in with good dates before kitchen being fitted. All went smoothly and the estimate went up, but this was expected as more plastering and electrical work needed doing and it made sense to get a new fuse box.

To remove internal supporting wall between kitchen and dining room. To block off internal and external doors, remove old kitchen and sort out existing electrics and to install new kitchen and lay flooring.

John was very courteous from the off on this project and put my wife at ease very quickly. We were delighted with John's quote and the way in which he managed all the different tradesmen during the two weeks that this project took. I will definitely be using John again.
